Case filed against Kashmiri students for celebrating Pak win

A Case was filed against Kashmiri students for celebrating Pak win by the Meerut Police against the 67 Kashmiri students of Meerut’s Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) who allegedly celebrated the victory of Pakistan over India in a cricket match on Saturday.
The case of sedition was registered under section 124 (a) of the Indian Penal Code against unknown students of SVSU on Wednesday.
The senior superintendent of police Onkar Singh said, “We have registered the case against unknown students and the culprits would be brought into record after investigation.”
A delegation of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders met the university’s vice chancellor Dr Manzoor Ahmad and management officials demanding stern action against the students who praised Pakistan terming their act “anti-national”.
A group of students associated with youth wing of the safforn party also burnt the effigy of the vice chancellor while students in CCS University took out Ahmad’s symbolic funeral procession inside the premises blaming him for being lenient to the students.
The trouble began on Saturday when a group of local and Kashmiri students were watching the India-Pakistan match in SVSU’s Madan Lal Dhingra Hostel.
